Such a cool post! Thanks for sharing, I had no clue about these hip hop stars being already into the scene of cryptos.

Namaste :)

Namaste!

Hahaha that is awesome!

I remember hearing a musician, The Polish Ambassador, say that he was tipped 0.4 btc back in 2013. Flip to today and that’s worth about 4k. Not bad for a tip

nice. Polish Ambassador rocks! 😎

If he sold his next album in BTC, how many do you think he'd sell?

This provides a good example of why bitcoin has actual value. fiat has value because you can exchange it for some goods or services. This shows that Btc can also be exchanged for goods and services, thus having actual value. Always show this example to naysayers

Amazing technology, that is changing the world! Only 1% are in the game as of yet. Hopefully the players in this game will make the world a better place and not get greedy like the old regime. We can do it!!!

He needs to change his name from 50 cents into 700 Bitcoin.

😂

The maturation into higher levels of wealth... 😎

There is already a music coin, not sure what’s it’s purpose though. After reading your posts, it seems to me you have a brilliant sense of humour. I laugh sometimes in between your articles, wonder how you would be in person😃.

Anyway, more millionaires must be on their way!! Crypto currency will be huge I am sure !!

There are a number of blockchain-based music projects and platforms out (I covered some of them here and the previously linked article in it) - also yes, Music Coin and Audio Coin.

Shall be interesting to see which really take off...

Damn, there are SO MANY projects !! Amazing to know that spotify is also in the game now !! I too used to sing before. Your posts are constantly motivating to start singing again.

I left singing few years back. I wasn't that good but I will try again on steemit now, after watching the variety of projects that might be supporting soon. Thanks a lot for this.

I am in for cryptocurrency. I think next few years belongs to cryptocurrency. As more and more people get aware of cryptocurrency it will get to next level. Invest early and enjoy later!
It is very risky so invest only what we are ready to lose. But on the other side stocks are doing great!

I would love to hear how he didn't know he had them but HODLd? Doesn't really add up to me. It sounds like a bs publicity story to make him sound relevant and not broke to me. lol

haha. t'is a pretty nice bounce back, considering he apparently went through bankruptcy not too long ago...

Which is another reason this story sounds like bs lol......they are going to have his ass back in court if he had 7 million and declared himself bankrupt, they don't play with that shit.

sh*t that's crazy! my friend just discovered some btc she had stashed away in a wallet somewhere from buying something a concert and it was worth over $10k. LOL .. guess if we could hold EOS that long, we may be in the same boat :)

Wow nice to hear that

My favorite part - “... but when converted to IRL money.”
The fuck is IRL money, we playin with Monopoly money then or what? 😂

I've been seeing more and more of this lately - celebrity endorsements always end up creeping their way in to most industries.. I guess 50 Cent's is a bit different, at least he's not directly affiliating with a company, but merely sharing his story. I can see some big names or 'has beens' trying to use this as an opportunity to get some media attention.. We will see!

Wow wish i could just forget i had that much bitcoin. Lmao. Must be nice

If BitCoin crashes one day, perhaps all his coins will be worth 50 cent. ;)

Interesting read. My prediction would be Eminem. Have you seen the new Jokers Wild show that Snoop Dog hosts? Pretty funny show. Check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Nothing gonnaa change my love Bitcoin....
Heyy i m also getting in musical node😀....

Fiddy Cent gonna make it rain bitcoin in da club.

Good for him. I would rather sell my art in crypto than fiat.

Do wounder why he had bitcoin hmmmmmmmmm? lol was it an investment or was he maybe buying something not so good on the dark web! bum bum buuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh and the plot thickensss

Rewind to 2014 and the rapper otherwise known as Curtis Jackson, allowed fans to purchase his album Animal Ambition using Bitcoin

Yeah I would say that too if i was buy illegal stuff with bitcoin. How many people out there buying rap albums with bitcoin in 2014, just saying sounds kinda fishy to me.

hmm... if BTC was about $500 at the time, 700 would've been worth $350,000...

if an album was $15, that would've been about 24,000 copies...

that "Animal Ambition" ambition did sell 124,000 copies, so those sold in Bitcoin would've accounted for 1/5 of sales...

possible.

I commend you sir. It is possible. I like what you are saying, just wondering what his motives for taking payment in bitcoin. On the other hand 50 cent is a super savvy investor. The world may never know.

Cryptocurrency is very intersting that one can sleep with very few people and weakup 100 time reacher than he was last night

Good to know that we have got Crypto enthusiast stars. This is good news to cryptocurrency generally. Thanks for sharing.

Love that he forgot about the BTC!!!

G'day, @rok-sivante

You mean 50 Cent was not a millionaire, already ?! :D Yes, mainstream crypto-adoption seems to be on the horizon... just this morning I saw a tweet of Katy Perry with what she termed "cryto claws" (nails with symbols of bitcoin, litecoin, etc...)

We, certainly, live in interesting times, my friend, and it feels good to be having this exchange on Steemit :)

BTW, been listening to your tracks on @dsound, and I'm enjoying relaxing "Sunset Symphony"as we speak.

Emboldened by your work & others, I've posted two poetry readings up on dsound myself. Here's latest:

I hope you enjoy it, Yahia

The guy forgot he had 700 Bitcoins... or did he commit perjury to get out of trouble? :p

Curtis Jackson is a smart man... I wish I would just not touch my portfolio for 5 years.

Wow.. once a business man always a business man..

Wow this is so cool! I used to sang his songs and i never thought that he's going into Bitcoins,very interesting!
